The plan was to add following things:

1 x 7inch LCD
1 x 5.8Ghz video receiver.
SKP or Helical antenna for strong reception
1 x SD DVR (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__25321__SD_DVR_High_Resolution_Digital_Video_Recorder_for_FPV.html) (will be soon available for sale at quadkopters ;) )
1 x Voltage display currently not added.

And some extra space to carry lipos in field.

Started with adding some thick wood at the edge for the support of the platform plywood

Have added few switches to make it look fancy :D

Ugly wiring is hidden below the platform :giggle: :giggle:

I have divided the lower half box and made some space to carry lipos while going for flying ;D ;D ;) ;)

;D ;D Easy to carry its bit heavy though :headscratch: :headscratch:

Next step:

1. Wrap both the platform ply with carbon fiber vinyl decal sticker (http://www.ebay.in/itm/2-Pcs-x-3D-Carbon-Fiber-Vinyl-Sticker-black-textured-sheet-2-sheets-12-x-12-/231152939143?pt=IN_Bike_Accessories_Parts&hash=item35d1c9f087) sticker

2. Adding the voltage display.

hi,

Grt looking GCS, but big and heavy.

I made from a plastic box available and is compact for rs. 50.

you can compact the size just 1" or 2 " bigger than the screen .

ALso using 3mm ply will make it light.
